Made rice sizers using 1&1/2 C rice (360 cc's) and put them in a sports bra. Not sure what kind of profile they resemble closest? Moderate? I am 5'7&1/2", 125lbs, slim athletic build, 34B. The size wasn't huge, but looked wide in the chest. Maybe it was the sports bra? Would a high profile help avoid looking wide in the chest? Want to look proportionate and natural, going for a full C look. Dr said I don't have a wide breast base, 11.something I believe. Suggestions? Rice sizers looked a little strange.

Answer: Breast implants/ Breast augmentation - How accurate are rice sizers? Hello marylittle,Thanks for your question.For all intents and purposes, a rice sizer gives the most important piece of information about a potential breast augmentation. Once you find a size you like, you can start sizing with your surgeon at this volume and make adjustments as necessary. Your surgeon will find the correct width and profile to best match your chest wall anatomy.I always recommend the use of rice or sugar sizers. It certainly helps me guide the patient better.A high profile implant is the most common implant I place to avoid an overly wide augmentation.I hope this was helpful.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Rice Sizers In a word, we can do better. Rice sizers give a rough idea of what kind of volume you want. It's a start. I prefer the Mentor sizing system. It's much more accurate. Physical dimensions are very important. The best approach is three dimensional photographic simulation with the Vectra system.Take your time, get second opinions. You'll know it when you see it.
